Where did all the Feminists go?

[Portofino]

MN seems to have had a reorganisation of FWR when I was on holiday and me no-likey. Why do we now have a Rad fem section and Feminist light chat. So many of the dynamic, knowledgable and interesting posters have disappeared. I have to say that some of the more radical stuff posted really made me think about my views and re-align them. There doesn't seem to be much of that anymore. I am disappointed to be honest.

so, we were having an interesting discussion about change from within etc...

float, float awwwwwwn....

Cancer and my name is Larry
And I like a woman
That loves everything and everybody
Because I love everybody and everything
And you know what, ladies,
If you feel that this is you
Then this is what I want you to do
Ooh, yeah, take my hand
Let me take you to Love Land
Let me show you how sweet it could be
Sharing your love with Larry, listen

float, float, float awwwwwn

I'm bringing Larry, Porto

That's OK then. He can get the drinks in.

SGM - how long do you think it will take you? And can you get a wriggle on with it please? They've been around for aaaages! Thanking you kindly.

can someone explain to me the main differences between a RadFem and a LibFem please?

It would be very nice to change things straight away, but I accept that it is a work in progress, and believe that everyone has to play a role.

different ideological basis
different approaches to challenging patriarchy
different methods of how to agitate for change

but, you can hold a lot of RadFem views, but favour a LibFem approach, yes?

thank you, I find it confusing.

yes,but IMO a significant difference is willingness to work within current system
or to see current system eg judiciary,education health as representative of problem and not want to work within
certainly ive read suggested lib fem is too soft or cop out

Thanks for the links SGM.

Is there an idea of what would replace it?

I did study this (with Shelia Jeffries!) but it was ages ago.

I mean she was the lecturer. Can't remember that much but was helpful at the time.
